Portugal vs Spain Review

                                      

WHAT A GAME!! Absolutely Breathtaking game of football.These are the games we football fans strive for. An amazing match for the neutrals to watch. Its fair to say that the World cup has officially BEGUN.

The tempo at which both the teams were playing was amazing. Spain as we all know play a possession type game. They like to keep the ball and pass it around and find gaps between the opposition's defence.

Portugal on the other hand knew spain would keep the ball so they were playing on the counter and they did a pretty good job at it.

The first goal in my opinion was a penalty even though ronaldo went down easily but there was contact with Nacho's leg. Ronaldo then converted the penalty as he always does.

After portugal went 1-0 up spain got back into the game with Diego Costa scoring the goal for them. Costa's finish and composure was amazing and he scored a great goal in my opinion.

Ronaldo then scored again to make it 2-1. The goal was due to a rare mistake from David DeGea. This goal was a great counter attacking move from the portuguese side.

Spain then got back into the game in the second half with Costa scoring for spain again with a great set piece move. The ball went to Sergio Busquest who headed the ball do Costa for a tap-in finish.

Spain then lead 3-2 from a wonder strike from Nacho. His first time volley was outstanding and he hit it right in the bottom left corner.

As the game was 3-2 heading into the final minutes potugal got a freekick in a great position and up stepped Cristiano Ronaldo and my word he scored an absolute banger from it. Ronaldo completed his hattrick and the game finished 3-3.

Cristiano Ronaldo! Lost for words. This guy has been doing this kind of stuff for almost a decade now. Being at the age of 33 people have been saying that he is finished for 2-3 years now and he has been proving everybody wrong every year. Carrying his nation in major tournaments everytime and in this match he proved everybody wrong again who called him "Finished". He doesn't need to prove anybody who he is and what he can do. One of the best player's ever to grace this game.
